Getting Ready

Hi!

I have 13 more days before I fly to Tanzania!!! I still can't believe it's happening 😲

I've been helping Divya make some skirts for me to wear when I get there. I'm not supposed to wear pants outside of the house due to culture and modesty concerns. 

Here's Divya working hard and fast at the sewing machine

Immediately after taking this pic I had to undo my work because of a little mistake 😭

Divya was teaching me how to make pockets! 

I've also been reading different books in preparation for my time in Africa! They also have the added benefit of giving me an excuse to not pack for a few moments 😜

The picture is a little blurry so here are the titles

The 3D Gospel: Ministry in Guilt, Shame, and Fear Cultures by Jayson Georges
